Feel free to jump in any of them and ask questions around, we have <a href="#narrow/stream/182449-t-compiler.2Fhelp" title="#narrow/stream/182449-t-compiler.2Fhelp">t-compiler/help</a> where people could help you.</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116266">@Santiago Pastorino</span> I see 1 closed and 2 open llvm-icebreaker issues on rust-lang/rust. Is that idea still active? It seems to me E-{mentor,easy} are much more active. Is that right? Thanks!</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="254481">@Daniel Franklin</span>  LLVM bugs also tend to come in batches -- e.g., when we upgrade to a new version of LLVM, there are suddenly a lot of them, and then things quiet down.</p>
